Reddit Migration

When I first started the timeline thread for reddit GDPR/CCPA requests, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/50981/Reddit-Data-Retrieval-Request-timeline-thread it seemed virtually no one got theirs.

Now, 11 out of 15 have received it. I even got mine via email, despite being permabanned and then deleting my account afterwards. Also, they are really pushing it, but so far no one seems to have gone over the deadline.

I do note that I seem to have gotten mine later than some others who put in requests later than I but got theirs earlier. In my case they were just one day shy of 30 days - but I did a request under 'Other' rather than GDPR or CCPA.

Hopefully this provides hope for others who want to grab their archive from reddit.

I ran into the profile limit so no more comments show up, but they are still on reddit with the csv file having links to the ones that haven't been deleted. There's too much for me to do it manually so would appreciate help if there's some tool to automate the process.

Reddit account.....deleted. Kbin seems to have a better "signal to noise" ratio IYKWIM

I don't know if Reddit is just trying to be a dick or what, but as I started to delete some comments, I'm not able to see any comments in my profile "hasn't commented on anything", but if I visit actual posts where I've commented, I can clearly see my comments there.

Does anyone know what's going on? Not even Redact or Power Delete Suite can see those comments, either :/

Data shows the micro-blogging website has been shedding users since early 2023, not long after Elon Musk’s takeover

im currently migrated here if you wondering why i got banned here is context:
im was posting reaction images on r/gachalifecringe and reaction images was this:
Child porn text:https://preview.redd.it/does-anybody-have-that-image-with-big-silver-letters-that-v0-t5mn9g9k54ma1.jpeg?width=1067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ee509679c7dd214e2398bc271e86e9348ceafa1
big jack horner holding child porn text orb
live gun reaction
and finally a horrifed man
after i posted this reddit banned me for sexulatizing (sorry i dont know spell this word) minors.
there was nothing wrong with it was child porn text sign, there is was no nude minor or something, i didnt promote child porn, WTF reddit why you banned i didnt nothing
(btw sorry for if im made bad english here)

I want to be able to just click the link from the home page like link aggregators...

When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy.

Now that it's starting to die down a little bit, does anyone regret doing that? Or are you glad that you took that step?

Solved, thanks everyone.

If I try to log into https://lemmy.ml/c/todayilearned with @ancientweasel@social.fossware.space it doesn't work.

If I search for !todayilearned@lemmy.ml from social.fossware.space it doesn't show up.

If I browse to lemmy.ml from federated instances on this lemmy there is no federated login that transits to a session on lemmy.ml .

What and I missing? What is a feasible way to have a useful user experience? It seams like this stuff is less than half baked. Please assist.

You can't sign up directly on !worldnews as registration is not enabled.

You could subscribe the main magazine on Kbin.social or Lemmy.world though

Is there some script, addon or something that will take data from GDPR request and delete content, especially comments, one by one? redact had this capability, but it's not working now

TL;DR: even if your delete script confirms a full wipe and your Reddit profile page shows zero comment, there may still be comments left over (that you can find through a search engine and delete manually on Reddit).

Weeks ago, I used redact.dev to delete all my Reddit comments (thousands of them over 10+ years). Redact.dev confirmed a full wipe, and my Profile > Comments page on Reddit confirmed I had no comment left.

Yet, as of today, Google still returns dozens of results for “$myredditusername site:reddit.com”. It’s not just Google’s crawler lagging; when I follow those links, those comments are still visible on the Reddit website, under my username, where I have the ability to manually delete them.

Thankfully, I hadn't yet nuked my account, because I knew of other users whose deleted comments got reinstated (although that was thought to be caused by the deletion script exceeding the API rate limit; supposedly a different case, as those missed comments would still show in the Profile page).

spez: edited for clarity.

A problem many have realized is that there are many /tech, /gaming etc. communities in different instances/servers. There is already https://fediverse.observer/ , so I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a service that periodically roams the fediverse, checks for example the last 100,000 submissions of each (or top 100 active servers or something) server/instance, and gets info on all the communities/subs involved. Users could search communities, and if they write "gaming" they would get a list of all the active /gaming communities and info about them: subscriping users, total submissions, instance location (geographical) etc.

This could be used to find suitable /gaming communities for your needs.

A desireable future feature for both kbin and Lemmy would be to find and subscribe to multiple communities with the same name from the fediverse, and manage them to a single feed if the user so desires.

Ideas, thoughts?

I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer.

We should be referring to it as...

• I saw it on the fediverse.
• Hey fediverse users ...
• A thread on the fediverse...

New terms may emerge but referring to the platform seems weird, almost ignorant.

edit: A better example is email. You wouldn't assume everyone is on Hotmail because that is the email provider you use. You say I'm sendingan eamail, not I'm sending a Hotmail.

It seems like it would help further prevent censorship, given how each instance of the Fediverse is run by people who can unilaterally decide what their users see. I'm beginning to feel like federation is but a half-step toward a solution.

Threads vs microblogs?

Does anyone have any advice on whether to use #threads or #microblogs when you're looking to say, start a discussion about a topic on #kbin? Is there an etiquette for what option is best? Or do people just pick depending on their mood (having a Twitter vs a Reddit sort of a day)?

I saw someone recommending Aether aside from Lemmy and Kbin, what is it ? googling Aether give me...

"According to ancient and medieval science, aether, also known as the fifth element or quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere. "

so yeah..
